What is a Breast Lift Augmentation?
A Breast Lift with silicone implant is a breast contouring procedure that enhances the shape and volume of the breast by repositioning the breast tissue and enhancing its volume with an implant.
Dr. JC Alvarez specializes in advanced breast lift techniques to ensure a smooth, lifted, and proportionate result.
The importance of Proportion in Breast LIft Augmentation
There is a common misconception that Breast lift augmentation always results in exaggerated or unnatural-looking breasts. However, Dr. Alvarez’s approach focuses on harmony and body proportion. It’s not just about adding volume to the breast—it’s about enhancing the overall balance of the figure, defining the waist, hips, and torso for a more elegant and natural result.
Each patient is different, and Dr. Alvarez customizes the procedure to achieve a proportional and well-balanced look, ensuring that the breast appear attractive without artificial exaggeration.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift Augmentation?
- Healthy individuals with saggy breast
- Those looking for fuller, more contoured breasts
- Non-smokers with good skin elasticity
- Patients with realistic expectations about results
How is Breast Lift Augmentation Performed?
A Breast Lift Augmentation procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.
Step 1: Breast Lift – The nipple is repositioned to a more youthful look and the excess skin is remove to recover a rounded and more contoured breast.
Step 2: Breast Augmentation – An implant is selected for the enhancement of the breast size. it is usually placed under the muscle.
Step 3: Recovery & Compression – Patients wear a compression bra to optimize healing and contouring.
A breast lift improves the position and shape of the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple, while breast augmentation adds volume using implants or fat transfer. When combined, they both lift and enlarge the breasts in one procedure.
Yes. A lift combined with implants can significantly improve breast asymmetry by adjusting the shape, size, and position of each breast. However, perfect symmetry is not always possible, as natural differences in breast tissue and chest wall shape may remain.
Not necessarily. A natural look depends on choosing the right implant size, shape, and projection for your body proportions, along with a conservative surgical approach. Many patients achieve youthful, natural-looking results with proper planning.
Two main types:
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, adjustable in size, and lower cost.
- Silicone Implants: Feel more natural and come in round or anatomical shapes.
Your surgeon will help select the best type, size, and profile for your body shape and goals.
Yes, but scars usually fade over time. Common incision patterns:
- Periareolar: Around the nipple.
- Lollipop: Around the nipple and vertically down to the crease.
- Anchor: Around the nipple, vertically down, and along the breast crease (used for significant sagging).
Results can last many years, but factors like aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy may affect breast shape over time. Many patients enjoy results for 10+ years before considering revisions.
Yes. Many women prefer a single operation for both lift and implants, reducing total recovery time and anesthesia exposure. However, in some cases with very stretched skin, two stages may be safer for the best long-term results.
Typically 2–4 hours, depending on the complexity of the lift and implant placement. It’s usually performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.
As with any surgery, there are risks such as:
- Infection
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Implant complications (rupture, capsular contracture)
- Changes in nipple sensation
- Poor wound healing or asymmetry
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes these risks.
The cost varies based on location, surgeon experience, implant type, and facility fees. In the U.S., prices typically range from $6,000–$15,000 for combined procedures, including anesthesia and implants.
